If your shoulders feel like they've carried the weight of the world after a day at your desk, you're not alone. Shoulder tension, a common complaint among office workers, can cause pain, stiffness, and even headaches.
What Causes Shoulder Tension?
Poor posture: Hunching over your computer or slouching in your chair puts constant strain on your shoulder muscles.
Stress: Stress hormones like cortisol can tighten muscles throughout your body, including your shoulders.
Lack of exercise: Weak, unused muscles are more susceptible to tension and pain.
Previous injuries: Old injuries can leave your shoulders vulnerable to recurring tension.
Recognizing the Signs
Pain or stiffness in your shoulders, particularly after work or exercise.
Difficulty moving your shoulders freely.
Pain that travels down your arms or up into your neck.
